You know, I've written on these pages about how when I was a child, my mom skimped on a lot of things and obsessed over the price of just about everything, such that I grew up thinking we were a bill or two away from poverty. While I didn't necessarily blame her, in light of her childhood and early adulthood, I did consider it unnecessary and counterproductive. Now that I've read this article about today's teenagers' attitudes about money, I'm just glad Mom erred on the side she did.
